The Little Chef of the Film Emperor's House

"Don't eat me!"

Jiang Qi screamed and woke up from the dream, the first thing he did when he woke up was to touch his face.

"It's okay, it's okay, without a pig's mouth, he's still so handsome..." He breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.

The reason why he didn't talk about picky eaters was because he was worried that Qiao Zhuyu would find him troublesome when he found out, but he didn't even think that he would let him go in his dreams.

With belated awareness, Jiang Qi realized that the room was dark, only the light from the street lamps outside shone into the room sporadically, bringing a little twilight.

To sleep until dark?

It's really strange, he couldn't fall asleep before, but he would lie on the bed with his eyes closed for an entire hour. The doctor said that even without sleep, it was a kind of relaxation. It was the first time that he slept all afternoon.

Jiang Qi reached out to touch the head of the bed and turned on the floor lamp, then picked up the phone, only to realize that it was almost eight o'clock.

There are still several unread messages on WeChat, which are basically related to work. He leans on the bedside and replies one by one.

Li Lin sent him the most messages.

[Sister Lin: What's the matter with you at noon, you will toss me and Xiao Chen before we co-author, right? 】

Jiang Qi probably fell asleep at that time, so he didn't reply. Li Lin's next message was sent at 06:30 in the evening.

[Sister Lin: You are still sleeping, Zhuyu is already preparing dinner for you, but you haven't gone down yet, no one dares to go upstairs to disturb you, let me treat you to dinner. 】

[Sister Lin: Where is the person? 】

[Sister Lin: I asked Zhuyu to go up to see you, put away any shameful things quickly, don't say I didn't warn you if you lose face in front of your idol. 】

After 10 minutes, Li Lin sent the last one.

[Sister Lin: Just go to sleep, you really treat yourself like a pig. 】

Jiang Qi replied: 【Wake up. 】

After replying to the message, Jiang Qi lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

The door was not closed when he was sleeping at noon, Qiao Zhuyu must have seen his sleeping appearance, fortunately he did not have the habit of sleepwalking, otherwise Qiao Zhuyu would have seen him fall asleep and still move back and forth...

Jiang Qi was used to being alone at home, and after waking up, he didn't tidy himself up, and went downstairs with his unkempt hair.

The lights on the first floor of the villa were on, but there was no one there. He walked to the kitchen counter, and a pink post-it note stood out, with Qiao Zhuyu's beautiful lowercase letters on it.

[Mr. Jiang, I thought you were still sleeping, so I didn’t call you. I’ve prepared dinner and put it in the incubator. If you wake up, you can eat it. There are biscuits I made this afternoon in the oven, which are salty. Egg yolk and cranberry flavors. 】

Jiang Qi opened the incubator at home, and the aroma overflowed in an instant. Jiang Qi was not very hungry at first, but when he smelled the smell, the feeling of hunger came at the right time.

He brought out a plate of tender chicken with scallion oil, a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, and a bowl of red bean paste dumplings.

The taste of the chicken is not bad at all, it is very smooth and tender, and it even feels bursting with juice when you bite it.

The sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance permeates the entrance of the candied lotus root, which is soft and sweet. Jiang Qi has seen this in Qiao Zhuyu's video before. The osmanthus honey is made by Qiao Zhuyu himself.

Jiang Qi has a big appetite, the sweetness of the red bean paste is moderate, and the small round balls are refreshing, he ate them all.

The cups and plates were all empty, and he thought of the biscuits Qiao Zhuyu had left in the oven.

It's past eight o'clock, and it's really inappropriate to eat so much. Jiang Qi has always been strict with his body, and his appetite was not strong before eating Qiao Zhuyu's food.

But now he couldn't help it.

There is no work anyway, Jiang Qi thought so, opened the oven and took out the tray.

Each piece of biscuit was made into a cloud shape, exactly the size of a bite, about a finger thick, with distinct layers visible to the naked eye, like a mille-feuille, but it looked firmer than a mille-feuille.

Jiang Qi casually pinched a piece and threw it into his mouth. It tasted like salted egg yolk, so crispy that it fell off.

There were more than twenty pieces of biscuits, some were salty and some were sweet. Jiang Qi didn't care about the sweetness and saltiness, so he didn't miss any of them.

Because of bipolar disorder, Jiang Qi often lost his appetite. In the worst case, he couldn't eat for three days in a row. Li Lin almost went to restaurants all over the city, but it still didn't help much.

He hadn't had such a comfortable meal in a long time.

On the first day of Qiao Zhuyu's arrival, Jiang Qi had achieved the achievement of sleeping until dark and eating enough to eat. He was very satisfied and felt more and more that he had to perform well during the one-month probationary period.

Jiang Qi fell in love with this kind of life, the normal life.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Qi woke up when the alarm clock rang at seven o'clock on time. After a sleepless night, he stretched himself refreshed, washed up and went downstairs to eat the breakfast he had been looking forward to last night.

The restaurant on the first floor is already filled with the aroma of food, which is the beginning of a good day.

But when Jiang Qi saw that there were two other people eating in the restaurant before him, it seemed that the beauty of this day was incomplete.

Seeing Jiang Qi going downstairs with a stinky face, Li Lin thought that he didn't sleep all night last night, his mouth froze while biting the shrimp dumpling.

However, the assistant, Xiao Chen, was careless, and he greeted him Jiang Ge while wolfing down: "Jiang Ge got up so early today, come and have breakfast! Zhuyu's craftsmanship is really amazing!"

Jiang Qi gritted his teeth, and even called Zhuyu, which he had never called before...

Jiang Qi pulled the stool away heavily, and with a stabbing sound, Li Lin and Xiao Chen immediately rang the alarm, fearing that the figure in front of them would turn into a dog later.

It happened that Qiao Zhuyu came over with a basket of pot stickers: "What's wrong with Mr. Jiang, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Jiang Qi turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant, and the change of expression on his face was at the textbook level of acting. He took advantage of the situation and moved aside, giving the stool to Qiao Zhuyu.

"No, come and eat together, don't be busy."

Li Lin: "..."

Xiao Chen: "..."

Qiao Zhuyu didn't suspect him, put down the pot stickers and went back to the kitchen to serve freshly made soy milk, without looking back, she said, "I thought you slept so long last afternoon and ate so much last night, you must have not slept last night." OK."

Li Lin and Xiao Chen snorted when they heard the words, and almost spit out the juice from their mouths.

Jiang Qi glared at the two of them, took a piece of bread after sitting down, and wanted to poke a hole in the two people opposite with the knife that spread the blueberry sauce.

Qiao Zhuyu brought the last soy milk to the table before she sat down and began to eat. She realized that the atmosphere on the table was not right, so she asked inexplicably, "What happened?"

Li Lin held back her smile and said, "It's okay, but some people, it's not easy to live a good life, we are all happy for him."

Jiang Qi interrupted her with a click of his tongue as a warning, and asked angrily, "Why did you two come here so early in the morning?"

Xiao Chen said in a doggy manner: "Sister Lin is worried about you. We planned to come over to clean up the battlefield early in the morning. See if we are thoughtful?"

"What battlefield?" Qiao Zhuyu didn't know what kind of riddle they were playing, so she asked.

Jiang Qi kicked Xiao Chen under the table.

"Brother Jiang sometimes likes to play some exciting games at home. He cosplays with Peace Elite or something. Sometimes he also likes to throw sandbags. Just these pillows, cups, etc. can be used as sandbags." Xiao Chen said.

Li Lin also echoed: "That's right, so Zhuyu, if you wake up one day and find that the house is in a mess, don't worry about it being a thief, it's a normal phenomenon."

Qiao Zhuyu looked at Jiang Qi dumbfounded: "Really?"

Jiang Qi gritted his teeth and nodded.

Although the reason is ridiculous, but I have to say, it seems to be quite useful, Jiang Qi seems to have no choice but to nod to admit it.

"Have you finished eating? Hurry up and leave when you're done eating." Jiang Qi began to give orders to evict guests.

Li Lin took out her mobile phone and said to Jiang Qi: "What's the rush, you won't forget about an announcement today, right?"

Jiang Qi frowned: "What announcement? Don't I have half a month left for my three-month vacation?"

Li Lin put the phone in front of Jiang Qi, and it was the chat record between her and another person.

Jiang Qi watched and heard Li Lin say: "Ye Xi's new song MV is filming today, and I invite you to be the leading actor. I agreed to it a long time ago, and it will take three or four months? Anyway, Ye Xi's new song is still on the way." It was in the preparatory stage, and her agent urged me to take you to the shed today."

Qiao Zhuyu's eyes lit up: "Ye Xi? Is that the champion of the "The Voice of China" program?"

Li Lin nodded: "Well, it's her. She is also a singer of our company. After winning the championship, her popularity and net worth have risen. The company also intends to praise her, so they invited Jiang Qi to be her new song MV as the male lead."

Ye Xi has been in the limelight recently, if he can cooperate with Jiang Qi, it is tantamount to getting on the express train.

Li Lin then said to Jiang Qi: "I think you are in good condition today, you should be fine, right?"

Jiang Qi looked at Qiao Zhuyu instead: "You like Ye Xi very much?"

"Yeah!" Qiao Zhuyu nodded vigorously, "Ye Xi sings very well. I have liked her since "The Voice of China". She is also good-looking and has a cute personality."

Jiang Qi didn't say anything about this star chasing behavior, but said: "She sings very well."

"I have no problem shooting the MV." Jiang Qi returned the phone to Li Lin, "Take the pearls with you, too."

Qiao Zhuyu couldn't hide her surprise: "Really? Can I go too?!"

Of course Li Lin knew what Jiang Qi was worried about, and she smiled instead of Jiang Qi and agreed: "It will take at least one day to shoot the MV, and the studio is not close here, so if I don't bring you along, what will happen to Jiang Qi's lunch and dinner?"

Qiao Zhuyu didn't expect that being Jiang Qi's private chef would have such benefits, and she was a little flustered for a while, but she didn't forget her duty. After breakfast, while Jiang Qi was cleaning up, she also prepared her own food. All the ingredients used were brought to the RV.

On the way to the studio, Qiao Zhuyu was sitting in the backseat playing with her mobile phone, Li Lin was handling work with a tablet, and Jiang Qi was leaning in a chair and dozing off.

It seems that since leaving the villa, Jiang Qi has automatically entered the working state, without the intimacy of yesterday, and speaks little.

When he arrived at the place, Jiang Qi got out of the car wearing a mask and sunglasses, while Qiao Zhuyu dressed up like Xiao Chen, also put on a mask and followed Jiang Qi, pretending to be an ordinary assistant.

The staff had been waiting for Jiang Qi to arrive a long time ago. Seeing Jiang Qi rushing in, Jiang Qi greeted the director, and then went into the dressing room.

Li Lin stayed in the shed to communicate and work, while Xiao Chen and Qiao Zhuyu followed Jiang Qi.

This is a two-person dressing room, specially prepared for the hero and heroine of the MV. When Qiao Zhuyu and the others entered, Ye Xi was already there.

"When did you see me using this color of lipstick? Are you afraid that I won't be dark enough when I shoot later? How do you become a makeup artist with such an aesthetic?" Ye Xi raised his eyebrows, and the makeup artist hurriedly apologized .

Qiao Zhuyu didn't react when she saw such a fierce Ye Xi all of a sudden.

Ye Xi in the show has always been a gentle and gentle little girl. Even if the staff did something wrong, she was very understanding. When did she say such mean words?

Jiang Qi didn't seem surprised, he didn't say anything, and sat at the next table, taking off his mask and sunglasses.

Seeing Jiang Qi sitting next to him, Ye Xi was obviously very happy: "Brother Jiang Qi, you are here!"

Jiang Qi hummed indifferently, which was regarded as a response.

"I heard sister Li Lin say that you are on vacation during this time, and I thought you would not come to participate in my MV shooting, but I didn't expect you to come anyway, thank you brother Jiang Qi!"

The current Ye Xi seems to be the Ye Xi on the screen that Qiao Zhuyu is familiar with. When she speaks to Jiang Qi, her tone is coquettish, as if she is happy for Jiang Qi's special treatment of her.

"You're welcome." Jiang Qi said.

"By the way." Ye Xi handed Jiang Qi a document, "This is the script for filming later, Brother Jiang Qi, do you want to see it?"

Jiang Qi took it, and after saying thank you, he let the makeup artist apply lotion on him while watching.

Ye Xi didn't know why, since Jiang Qi started reading the script, he no longer looked directly at him, but secretly glanced at Jiang Qi from the corner of his eye.

Qiao Zhuyu is very familiar with this kind of look. The heroine in Korean dramas is in this state when she is shy.

The Chinese call it shy and timid.

And Qiao Zhuyu called it, pretentiously.

I saw Jiang Qi didn't know what he saw, his pretty brows were slightly frowned, and his voice was not gentle: "I won't shoot."
